Awesome once it's over, I guess. I've got 20 years to look forward to. Thanks for showing us the light at the end of the tunnel.
It is never over.
a 20 year old needs different things, but they still need things from parents. But there is light. I completely don't miss the crap part of having a younger kid.

I hope all of you have had similar homecomings and wish everyone a low-stress summer with your college kids.
This is a great message. All I see on this site are people complaining. (Oh no I just complained just now by saying that!)
Seriously, this is heartwarming to hear, and I wish you a great summer and many future similar experiences!

I love you both. Have an awesome summer! (And, yeah, when they go away to college, they often return with greater maturity. Karma, right?)
